Animal Lover, Amazing Care!
Pet care experience
I love dogs! I've been involved with caring for dogs, training them for show, and showing dogs for over 30 years now. I will provide excellent, quality, loving care for your dog(s) in my Houston home. I am kind, caring, experienced, dependable, and fun! We are conveniently located off of 1097, near Lake Conroe, in Willis, Texas. We live on two acres of land, and have a large fenced, secure backyard for your doggies to run, play and have fun. Our living room is sufficiently big enough for the dog(s) to join us for play, rest, and spending quality time together :) The neighborhood is very safe, and we love to take the dogs out for walks. I do not have young children, but do have two teenage sons who are also dog lovers :) Applicable background: I have a degree in biology. I have always been an animal enthusiast. I have shown, trained, and bred dogs for over 30 years, during which time I also cared for and showed dogs for others as well. This care was in several locations: in my home; in client homes; and I also worked for two show/boarding kennels helping with training, exercise, playtime, feeding, and taking doggies for potty breaks. I have experience with many dog breeds of all sizes, from Chihuahua to Australian Shepherd to Rottweiler. I will provide your pet with loving care while at my home, and will treat him/her as a king. Additional information: I have reliable transportation in the event of an emergency. We have multiple vehicles. I am very comfortable administering medication. I am experienced in giving medication orally, in giving vaccinations, and in giving IV solutions (as needed). I am home 24/7 each day and as such the dog(s) will be with me throughout the day and night. If at the client's home I will spend 60 minutes each time I visit. My home sits on 2 acres. My backyard is completely fenced in by a 6 foot wood fence. Dog(s) will be able to go outside with me to play, potty, and run. He/she will be supervised at all times. Where your dog(s) sleep at night will depend upon each individual dog and what he/she is accustomed to in his/her own home environment, if the dog is housebroken, etc. Options include various dog beds around the house, on/beside my bed, in a 4x4 pen on the tiled floor in the breakfast area, or in his/her kennel.
Reviews
Karen and her family love our dogs. We have let our dogs vaca there twice now and they love going over. We hope she has availability for our next vacation!!
Karen was great! Right when I met her, I was comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. She sent pictures and gave updates during my vacation, which was great! HIGHLY recommended!
Karen did an excellent job with our dog dolly. She seemed very happy when we picked her up. She took pictures and sent them to us throughout the whole trip. She took her for a walk several times a day and played her favorite game of Frisbee with her while we were gone. She took very good care of her with no problems. Stayed in touch with us the entire time and kept us posted. Karen was great. I strongly recommend her.
Karen is awesome! She sends pictures while you're gone and takes excellent care of your fur baby. I strongly recommend her as a dog sitter.

I live in a quiet subdivision. I go on walks through the neighborhood each day - morning and evening. I would love to take your dog out for walks and give him/her exercise. I also will provide exercise by playing fetch, etc., with toys in my home and/or in my backyard.
